Does anyone know if they will issue this five year visa for longer than the validity of the passport?

the money doesn’t appear to need to be marinated or seasoned either apparently

Do they still require masks?

Maybe leave a bigger cushion than 15 baht

@James *******

by “you,” do you mean it in the plural? I was not asking about my situation in particular.

@James *******

recent history of what?

@Tod ********

how long are they expected to stay out of the country before immigration considers it reasonable to return as a tourist?

“Beware the ides of March”

As soon as you check in to a hotel that does things legally, you will instantly have a new TM30 on file in whatever province that is.

You can then ask for a print out of the TM30 from reception, and bring it to the local immigration office for your 90 day report.

If you have a TM30 on file that is different from your home province you won’t be able to do your 90 day report online using your home address, but i am not sure about that.

@Bill *******

that comes with black listing too.

i have heard of police showing up to arrest foreigners on overstay at their guesthouses, which they can see if you file a new TM30 on an expired visa. Someone might want to confirm that.

and they will not care if you are a pensiuner or mother teresa, if they catch you it will be off to immigration lockup and deportation at your own expense.
